Type 2 & other diabetes

Reduced glomerular filtration rate in individuals with intermediate hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes as defined by 1-hour post-load glucose levels according to the newly released International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The 1 h-PG thresholds proposed by IDF as diagnostic for IH and T2DM are capable of identifying individuals at risk of kidney dysfunction.

Study context

Population
Subjects classified by fasting, 1 h and 2 h post-load glucose according to IDF criteria
Participants
2,161 subjects
Exposure
Glucose tolerance categories by IDF criteria vs normal glucose tolerance (NGT)
Outcome
CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m²)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Each group vs NGTOdds ratio (95% CI)P value
iIFG
3.48(1.01–11.00)
P = 0.05
IH
3.69(1.42–9.60)
P = 0.007
T2DM
3.93(1.36–10.66)
P = 0.007

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

OutcomeOR (95% CI)P value
Mildly reduced kidney function (eGFR 90-60 ml/min/1.73 m²)IHvs NGT1.89 (1.38–2.60)P < 0.0001
Mildly reduced kidney function (eGFR 90-60 ml/min/1.73 m²)T2DMvs NGT2.78 (1.97–3.98)P < 0.0001

Mildly reduced kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 90-60 ml/min/1.73 m²)

Prevalence progressively increased at worsening of glucose tolerance
